Welcome to the Happily Ever Adventures’ Book Club!
One of my personal goals for the year is to make more time for reading. Diving into a good book is one of my favorite hobbies. It’s a great way for me to unwind and to recenter myself with some “me” time. I’ve noticed that lately my attention span is struggling and while I’m reading a book I’ll check my phone every few minutes or I’ll get distracted by something. I really want to get back to spending regular uninterrupted reading. I think this will be a really great thing for my mental well being. Quite a few of you told me that you’ve been feeling the same way, so I thought, why not start a book club!
HERE’S HOW THE BOOK CLUB WILL WORK:
1. Once I’ve read the book, I’ll put up a post with some discussion questions and thoughts. Go ahead and chat on that post!
2. Read the book for that month, if you’d like! There’s no pressure here. Feel free to participate whether you finish the book or not or even if you never start the book! Don’t feel like you have to participate every month; feel free to join in whenever works for you. I’ve tried to pick books that have Audible and Kindle versions so you can read it in any format you’d like.
3. If you’d like to post any photos on IG, use the hashtag #happilyeverbookclub. Search the hashtag to find other book club friends and engage on their posts!
4. On the last Tuesday of each month, I’ll host an IG Live. This will be kind of like the “official book club” meeting. I’ve posted all the dates below so you can plan ahead!
